Joy and happiness are both sought by all the people who dwell on this world, and everything will depend on where we look for both and that our search is really correct. Without a doubt they are things we can find. We do not believe that saying that says happiness does not exist, because that is a falsehood. So, if you have searched and searched and found nothing, through this article we want to show you how to find happiness and joy.
Many seek joy in different ways, through parties, alcohol, dating, and other fleshly means, but in the end they discover that joy is simply temporary and can have negative consequences. Many people believe they have never achieved happiness, and they also think that it can never be achieved, but this is not the reality. There is a key in life to achieve both.
Human beings were created with a deep need inside their hearts, a need that nothing in this world can truly fill. This is why so many people move from one experience to another, from one pleasure to the next, always hoping that the next thing will finally satisfy them. However, when those moments pass, emptiness returns. Temporary joy fades quickly, and the heart remains restless.
The Bible says as follows:
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16:11
Let’s start with the most honest truth: only God can show us the path of life. This means that real life does not consist only of breathing, working, or achieving goals, but of living in communion with the One who created us. Without God, a person may appear alive on the outside, but spiritually they are empty and disconnected from the true source of life.
When God introduces us to the path of life, something powerful happens inside us. We begin to see life differently, our priorities change, and our hearts are aligned with eternal truths. It is on this path that we find not just a small portion of joy, but the fullness of joy. This is a joy that does not depend on circumstances, material possessions, or human approval.
The joy that comes from God is stable and enduring. Even in moments of pain, loss, or uncertainty, this joy remains present because it is rooted in faith and trust in Him. The Bible teaches us that God’s presence brings peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace that guards our hearts and minds even when the world around us is falling apart.
In Him we can find enough happiness for our souls and a peace that surpasses all understanding even when we are afflicted. This does not mean that believers do not suffer or face difficulties, but that suffering does not define their joy. God becomes their refuge, strength, and comfort in times of trouble.
At the right hand of God, as the verse tells us, there are pleasures forevermore. This reveals that the joy God offers is not temporary like worldly pleasures, but eternal. What He gives does not wear out, does not disappoint, and does not leave us empty. It satisfies the deepest parts of our being.
If you have sought happiness and joy in other places, from now on we recommend that you seek that in God. Turn your heart toward Him, seek Him in prayer, in His Word, and in a sincere relationship. In Him there is fullness of joy, true peace, and lasting delight, not only for this life, but for eternity.
